Five men convicted for their roles in the killing of a 20-year-old Tacoma, Wash., woman have been given sentences ranging from 12 to 75 years.
Prosecutors say Camille Love's Feb. 7, 2010, death was a case of mistaken identity. Gang members shot up the young woman's car as she drove down a Tacoma street. The attack was in retaliation for an earlier gang shooting.
She died and her 19-year-old brother was wounded.
The News Tribune reports ( http://is.gd/cjY89C) that neither Love nor her brother was connected to the earlier shooting, but they were riding in a red car and her brother wore a red jacket, the trademark color of the rival gang.
The five sentenced Friday are all affiliated with an eastside Tacoma street gang.
